W5-Pcomp Project1-Rainbow glasses

I want to go to I want to go to Disney land on Halloween.

There are too many pumpkin lamp in Disneyland and it cannot help me to be the coolest guy in Halloween.

I want to be the coolest guy!

Last week, when Danny showed us the Neopixel ring to us, an idea BUMPED into my mind.

I must make a glasses! I really want to have one!

 

Rainbow at night.

I asked my friend to test it.

 

More uses:VERY USEFUL!
1.Let us imagine a scene in life.It always happened in my life.
Sometimes your parents/partner/friends(anyone close to you) ask you something or talk with you, while
you are focusing on other things, you may answer them louder than usual.
Then they may think why you are so rude or why are you angry with them.
But actually ,you are not.You are just busy.

Faced with this situation,my rainbow glasses can connect a voice sensor in series.
If the sensor detects that the volume is higher than a set value, the rainbow glasses start to blink.
Back to the situation just now, if you wear rainbow glasses, blinking glasses will break the embarrassing situation caused by misunderstanding between you two.
You might avoid a quarrel.

This also applies to similar situation like the first debate.



If someone wants to interrupt you/start a quarrel or sth like that,
once their voice volume reaches the sensor setting value,

then "RAINBOW!"

In this case, many quarrels/debates/wars may eventually turn into comedies.
There will be less quarrels/debates/wars in the world.


2.I also want to connect a light transistor in series.
It is also what my rainbow glasses originally wanted to be.
When night falls, your glasses start to blink.How fun that would be!


But finally,I didn't solve the code problems.I want to combine the "if structure" of light transistor and random blink code of the glasses,
but it didn't work.


Challenges I met and What I need to improve
1.“Small”arduino

Perhaps I bought  so many electronic components on my shopping website(Taobao),it always recommend me some other electronic components now.
And one day,I saw this.The name of it is "Small" and it shows that it's a wearable Arduino(not real Arduino, sth like that.)
Why not have a try? Another reason is that I don't know what happened to my nano,maybe
I crashed it.The light on my nano didn't turn on and it didn't appear on my computer for several days.
But now it works suddenly and I don't know why.
Anyway,I tried "Small"this week.It's not stable and it always didn't appear on my computer.

2.
In my imagination, it should be like this.It's portable and easy to hide behind the glasses.

But it actually shows like this.
I have to use more complex circuit.
Because there are lots of limitations:
It's my first time to use soldering iron, and I didn't have much confidence in that;
I only have 2 neopixel rings and I don't want to damage them.
Finally,I gave up something I want to make sure it works.

3.I also spent a lot of time to figure out this.
At first,I connected 2 Neopixel ring in series, because it's easier to hide behind the glasses with less wires.
It always showed like this
.


Later,I found it's because each neopixel ring's working voltage is 5v and arduino only can supply 5v power.
So I finally connected them in parallel with more wires.
I considered adding a 5v power supply, but I only borrowed a 5v power supply instead of a 5v battery.
I was not confident in this method, and I didn’t want to damage my components anyway.So I finally connected them in parallel.
